Gundal, Hasan
The primary objective of the current review is to examine the enamel cracks before and after debonding of metal and ceramic brackets. The variables evaluated are: size, shape, localization of the cracks and the adhesive remnant index. Braces should be removed from the enamel surface, after orthodontic treatment. Removing the brackets may damage the tooth enamel. The risk of enamel damage increases when removing ceramic brackets. Some researchers evaluated different debonding methods in order to find the one that would cause less damage on the enamel and some others evaluated the bond strength of both metal and ceramic brackets showing that enamel cracks are associated with the bond strength. More specifically, it has been demonstrated by some researchers that higher bond strength is correlated with increased number and size of enamel cracks. There are authors reporting that brackets with chemical retantion do not exhibit greater bond strength compared with brackets with mechanical retantion. On the other hand, some authors asserted that brakets with chemical retention produce significantly higher bond strengths than brackets with other types of retention bases

Jagtap, Rohan
Pre-eruptive intracoronary resorption is a rare condition mainly affecting pediatric patients. It is a radiographic finding in the dentin of the crown of an unerupted tooth just below the enamel-dentin junction. It is visualized in radiographs as a radiolucent coronal lesion of variable depth; it is well-defined and located in the dentin adjacent to the amelodentinal limit of an unerupted tooth. Historically, this lesion was misdiagnosed as caries and was misnamed pre-eruptive caries, when in reality they were pre-eruptive intracoronal resorptions. We present two rare cases of pre-eruptive intracoronary resorption in patients that needed radiographs for orthodontic purposes. The Oral & Maxillofacial Radiologist detected the existence of pre-eruptive intracoronary resorption in mandibular second premolars and mandibular second molar. These radiographic findings provided the clinician with the advantage of knowing this condition before teeth eruption, allowing for conservative treatment and periodic radiographic follow-up.

Oğuz, Ece İrem
Zirconia has become a popular restorative material regarding the mechanical and biocompatibility advantages. Monolithic and translucent forms of zirconia advanced the aesthetics of this material, making it the material of choice for both tooth- and implant- supported restorations. Also, digital fabrication of zirconia not only enables accurate restorations but also provides time efficiency. The present case report demonstrates the rehabilitation of a patient who has generalized tooth wear with implant- and tooth-supported monolithic zirconia restorations with buccal veneers in a newly established occlusal vertical dimension. The treatment process was completed in a digital workflow as the impressions were taken with a powder-free intraoral scanner and the digital data were send to the dental laboratory to fabricate the restorations. Monolithic zirconia restorations with buccal feldspathic veneers were completed without any adjustments in only two appointments. The patient was satisfied and the restorations have been in service for two years.

Yıldırım, Sinem
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the mothers' knowledge and awareness of primary teeth. Methods: This cross-sectional study consisted of 323 children and their mothers. A questionnaire form consisting of 10 questions about the definition of primary teeth, their total number and treatment requirements was applied to the mothers. Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The rate of wrong answers given by mothers with low education level to the question "What are primary teeth?" was significantly higher (p <0.001). The rate of correct answer given by mothers with low education level to the question "How many primary teeth are there in a healthy dentition?" was significantly lower (p = 0.002). The answer of "no" given by mothers with a low education level to the question "Do you think it is necessary to treat primary teeth?" was significantly higher (p=0.016). The rate of correct answer given by families with a monthly income above 5000 TL to the questions "What are primary teeth?" and "How many primary teeth are present totally?" were significantly higher (p=<0.001). Conclusion: The superior the education level and the monthly income of the family, the higher the rate of answering questions that require information.
